what can you say about the H.R. 5295: Student and Teacher Safety Act of 2006?

Question

Student and Teacher Safety Act of 2006 - Requires states, local educational agencies, and school districts to deem a search of any minor student on public school grounds to be reasonable and permissible if conducted by a full-time teacher or school official, acting on any colorable suspicion based on professional experience and judgment, to ensure that the school remain free of all weapons, dangerous materials, or illegal narcotics.

Denies Safe Schools and Citizenship Education funds, provided under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, to states, local educational agencies, and school districts that fail to deem such searches reasonable and permissible.

Answer 1

I think it is a good idea. Students should expect to be searched if they are participating in suspicious activity. I think the school has every right to keep the campus safe for other children, so if they expect something and have strong evidence to support their suspicion, then they should search the student.
